English: The Bali Süleyman Ağa mosque and its Külliye (complex of buildings with a mosque) is located on the Tekke Street at Silivrikapı Veledi Karabaş. On the place where this complex is now a prayer room with masonry walls and wooden roof had been built, in memory of Sÿleyman Ağa who was an artilleryman during the conquest of Istanbul. He had the honour, the notice on site tells us (which twice reads Bala instead of Bali), of receiving our Prophet’s praises, and was buried at the mausoleum next to the mosque. Both the prayer room and the Tekke were rebuilt between the years 1862-62 (the era of Abdulaziz) to be used as a tevhidhane, in a much bigger way with a dome.
